Phimai Historical Park

#thailandtrip This place was stunning! I remain amazed - after visiting ancient ruins in other countries - how much of this complex was accessible to the public. There’s not really anything off limits, and only the normal rules binding visitors to decency in a holy site. The structures are all incredible, and the details truly ornate. Plan at least a couple of hours to wander and soak it all in. There is a higher density of visitors here than some of the other sites we’ve visited, but for good reason. It’s an amazing feat of human engineering, and something worth witnessing first-hand.
